[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are overestimating the time it takes me to write a paragraph like that. I can do this while watching my kids on the playground (they are old enough to play by themselves, don't worry). But you're right, it wasn't really worth the mental energy. I just get annoyed with parochialism when it leads to judgmental comments like the one PP made. In real life, politeness would keep me from exposing it, so don't be concerned about my popularity.[/quote] Really it ought to be Mamma and Pappa (emphasis on second syllable for both words) in English. Or Mater and Pater. As in, I'm going out tonight with some of my mater friends.[/quote]
